Final Induction Range
on December 31, 2023
Posted by: CassieCat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted Induction for at least 10 years. Finally decided to go for it. Result is great range. It looks wonderful and is a pleasure to cook with. Burners work fast with marvelous control of heat levels. Warning lamps for usage -hot surface, etc are clear & easy to read.
Adjusting to oven is a bit more of a challenge. Bake seems to run a little cool, but convection settings for both Bake & Roast seem normal. Haven't had a chance to try Pizza or Broil yet.
To avoid redoing entire kitchen, I got 36" model. Glad that was necessary. Oven is huge; I'll never have to worry if a pan will fit again.
All in all, I'm love this range & am sorry I waited so long to purchase it.

A mixed bag
on January 26, 2024
Posted by: peb266
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this range is okay, but we're not thrilled with it. Pros: nice look and alignment with kitchen cabinets, ease of cooking. Cons: The oven is very shallow! And when using the oven, the fan is VERY LOUD. There should be an indicator light for when the oven is preheated; the beep is short and could go off while the cook is out of the room. The cooktop cook zone arrangement isn't the most convenient (i.e., the double griddle space would be better at the back, since it's not the most frequently used zone). We're glad to have made the switch to induction, but generally not crazy about this particular product; probably would not purchase again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Our first induction range
on February 1, 2024
Posted by: nordski
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really love our induction range. The minor noises and all the other things people tell you fade away very quickly. So far the cooking and baking have all gone to plan. Slight learning curve with the cooktop, things get hot FAST and water boils ridiculously quickly which is a godsend if you have young kids that are hungry. Only annoyances are making sure you have the right size pans, and losing the "extra" heat you might be used to on a gas stove. The heat from a gas stove travels up the sides of the pan, which can be useful (or it can super heat the handle and be a HUGE pain). You lose the hot sides (bummer) and hot handles (hurray!). All that is to say, we made the switch and are very happy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mostly Wonderful
on February 8, 2024
Posted by: ScotFear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So thrilled to have this range in our little home. It is beautiful and we have fallen (big time) for the induction cooktop technology. I want to give five stars...
HOWEVER..
We have one big problem with the unit.. and it is a big issue- the control knobs. The shiny knobs are beautiful, but they are nearly impossible to read. The font for the settings on the knobs are tiny. The knobs are so much more than just on/off so seeing them to properly set cooking times/teps etc. is critical. Adding to the problem the cooktop sticks out a little which helps to keep the knobs clean, but also puts them into a shadow, which makes it even tougher to see the words on the knobs.
At first we thought it was just our "old" eyes, but, much younger family, neighbors and friends agree with us, it is very tough to see the settings.
Haven't found a good work around yet, so we are keeping a magnifying glass and flashlight next to range for now.
Again, we love the oven- the size of the unit, the look, but this issue with reading the knobs is something that we will need to find a work-around.

Great Range
on February 21, 2024
Posted by: Patrick Curry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range has a nice sleek look and substantial feel. The dials are intutitive and everything works as intended. The cooking is even and the induction works great for a safe and effective cooking surface. My only complaint is the lip/drip edge on the front of the cooking surface extends out too far and can make it hard to the see the settings on the dials. Particulary the oven settings, they're in shadow and the contrast on the lettering isn't high. But it looks great and works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unreadable dials
on February 25, 2024
Posted by: Jlg2024
The oven and induction range top work great. The dials are unreadable since they sit under an overhang that blocks any light.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad knobs
on March 5, 2024
Posted by: Jlong7774
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we love our new Bosch 36" induction range. The only problem we see so far is you cannot see the numbers on the knob.
Fortunately there is a display on the cooktop for the burners and a front display for the oven.
My suggestion to Bosch is make knobs that are easy to see.
I would recommend this to a friend!
